Dans cet essai, l’enseignante-chercheuse rapporte dix témoignages de victimes de discriminations et invite à créer du commun.

The New York Knicks sit third in the Eastern conference, third in the league in offensive rating and third in offensive rebounds, having committed the third-fewest turnovers. Jalen Brunson just returned from a twisted ankle that made him the third Knick starter to miss a game already, joining OG Anunoby and Frankenstein fifth-starter Jotchell McHartinson. The two teams ahead of New York in the East are Detroit and Toronto. I’m not worried about either. Ergo, the Knicks are in a good place in the conference — only with Cleveland off to a ho-hum 10-6, Boston a medically-induced morass of middling and Indiana riding their once-in-a-lifetime lottery luck like a beaming Mia Malkova riding . . . well, metaphor aside, the point is that the Knicks could be doing better. Should they, though? How do you feel about their start? Hey, you having a kid soon? Hoping to? Someday? If you love that kid, make sure their name is four syllables. That’s how many it takes to get chanted at Madison Square Garden. You’d think that kinda thing boils down to greatness, or maybe time. Nah. Think about it. Patrick Ewing’s name got chanted. Jalen Brunson’s will, if it hasn’t already. Carmelo Anthony never did, though. Too many syllables, even if you cut “Carmelo” to “Melo.” KAT never will, either; same reason. Julius Randle, Amar’e Stoudemire, Charles Oakley? Nope. Jeff Van Gundy did. Not Pat Riley. It’s not just the syllables. New Yorkers always add a little flavor to what they do. That’s how 19,763 strangers (that used to be the sellout number; dunno what it is now, after the sellouts sold out some more) are somehow, immediately, intrinsically aware that where the stress falls in those syllables matters! “Tom Thibodeau” had the right number of beats, but the stresses are all wrong. Where would you even hit the accent? TOM thi-BO-deau? Not merely off-key, but literally diabolical; like a waltz danced in 4/4. Landry Shamet has now had his name chanted at the Garden twice in six months. Allan Houston? John Starks? Bernard King? Never! Sure, the Hall of Fame and All-NBA selections are fine, yeah, but have you ever considered the mouth-feel of a player’s name? Its play upon the ear? I hated writing “Afflalo” when he was a Knick because my brain always wanted his first name to be “Aron,” not “Arron.” Strictly sonorously, “Afflalo” is a beautiful sound, if only for its strangeness, for the necessity of that strangeness. If Schoenberg were alive and heard the word “Afflalo,” he wouldn’t smile — he’s Schoenberg — but he’d recognize something of his twelve-tone music in that name, feel a ringing inside himself, an affirmation. That’s not nothing. It’s November mailbag, babes. Whaddya wanna share? Ask. Seek. Knock. Come as you are.

After a comfortable 4-1 victory in their NCAA Tournament opener, the Women’s Soccer Team will once again take the field at DeMartin Stadium on Thursday evening. This time, the challenger is the Wake Forest Demon Deacons. The game will air at 6 PM ET on ESPN+. In their first game, MSU used a second half barrage to turn a 1-0 halftime lead into a 4-0 lead before surrendering a late goal to cost Noelle Henning a shutout in her first postseason game at MSU. Offensively, MSU had goals from Kennedy Bell, Kayla Briggs, Emerson Sargeant, and Adelle Francis. For Sargeant, it was her 3rd goal in 3 games after she had both Spartan tallies in the B1G semifinal win over UCLA. Bell, Sargeant, and Briggs are the leading goal scorers on the season with 11, 8, and 7 goals, respectively. Michigan State earned a 2-seed in this year’s tournament, which means they will play at home through the round of 16 if they win today. Thursday’s opponent is 7-seed Wake Forest who is coming off a 2-1 win over South Carolina in their first-round game. Unsurprisingly, the Demon Deacons do not have as potent of an offense as the Spartans. Their highest goal scorer, Kylie Maxwell, only has six goals all year, which would be good for fourth if she played for MSU. Where MSU’s concern should lie is with the Wake goaltender. Sophomore Valentina Amaral has both a better save % (.783 vs .745) and goals-against-average (1.06 vs. 1.18) than her MSU counterpart, Henning. Where Amaral, and WF in general, could be worried is that they should see a higher shot volume against MSU than they usually face. For the season, MSU is averaging 15.3 shots while Wake’s opponents are only getting 12.1 off. As of now, the forecast at kickoff is 44 degrees, which is probably a tad colder than what those Carolinians are used to at this time of year. Perhaps the weather will be another factor that tips this game in MSU’s favor. But even without it, MSU should prove to be the better team and progress on to the next round. That game would be on Sunday, November 23, and would be against the winner of Colorado and Xavier, which is also being played at DeMartin today. If you have ESPN+ and are home from work by 6, show your support for the team as they seek a third consecutive berth in the round of 16.
